It was working fine a week before tho... and i did not sync my phone in between that time.

They do not sync to each other at all.
You would sync all of them to your computer.
You can download some past purchases in some countries:

I just upgraded my mac to Mountain Lion and turned on iCloud. Now all of the music stored on my mac shows up on my iphone. My question is, if I listen to this music on my iphone am I using up my data plan?

No, if you are using the Music app you are playing them on your iPhone.

When I plugged my iPhone into a computer, the music that I deleted are still present on my iPhone but are grey/ghostly. Is there any way I can delete this!? It's taking up too much space!!!!

I deleted a bunch of songs by sliding over the song, and simply deleting it. When I plugged it into my sisters laptop, the music is still present and ghostly/grey looking. I can't slide over it and delete it. It's taking up too much space on my iPhone!!! How can I delete these!?
(the computer used to sync music from my iPhone and such isn't working, so I do everything not from a laptop)

It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

Some of the music I had on CDs is no longer available in my itunes. It says that it is located on the "icloud", but I have no idea how to get it back so I can listen to it!

All of a sudden about 35% of my music has a grayish download button beside it. When I go to redownload it, it won't let me do anything. Then, when I check the location, it states it's in the icloud.
How do I get all my music back into my itunes - other than redownloading all the CDS. It's all music that I have purchased, so I'm not sure how it even got put into icloud, and can't be found in my itunes file. WHen I go to see if it's gone of the drive, it's still in there, and I can play it through the media player, but it won't show up on itunes.
What can I do? Thanks for any help. Paula

My iphone 4s will not play any music it just scrolls through the entire list and says url not found on this server

Please help. I am going to go pop in a minute!!
All this happened after installing IOS 6!!

I have the same issue - Home Sharing is setup on my macbook pro and works absolutely fine from my Apple TV but no longer works from my iPhone 4S now running iOS7.04
Macbook Pro with OS X 10.6.8
iTunes 11.04
Apple TV (latest software update?)
iPhone 4S with iOS7.04
Let me recap...Apple TV can access shared music library via Home Sharing with no issues. The iPhone 4S can ACCESS the shared library, SCROLL through the songs, but when I attempt to PLAY a song it just skips it and sends me back to the browsing screen.
I appreciate any response.

I just bought a new iPhone 5 and I downloaded my songs from iTunes. now when i go to play them, it says URL not found in server.

Helppppp!!

You'll have to contact iTunes store support regarding your credit card information problem: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. I'm not clear on what you're saying about your backup. Are you saying that when you connect to iTunes it's asking you to restore from backup even though you already have?

I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

Hi,
Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

I don't want to sync my new ipod nano with all my music on my mac. i only want to put on certain albums. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

i want to add music to my new ipod nano but i don't want to sync all the music onto the nano from my mac. how do i transfer some of the music but not all? thank you.

Hello,
It is 2015 and iTunes still wants to tell me what to listen to. This problem still persists. The only solution I have found is to select "Manual ..." and pick one by one the items to sync.
When I select items to sync by artist or genre they do copy to the device. Then iTunes continues randomly selecting music until the device is full. When I want to load the Nano for a road trip I don't want 20% of the tracks to be Chakra meditation. When little Nano is docked on the nightstand alarm clock I DON'T want to hear Motorhead, Ministry, etc.
For all the effort aPple puts into seamless integration and ease of use ... Why the heck is it so hard to say NO? Sync these tracks and NOT those. Stop asking me to log in to your cloud service BTW. I do not want it.
Thanks,

I am editing an idvd slideshow to have some of the music selections from itunes fade out at the end of each vacation segment using music reflecting the country visited. Is there a way to fast-forward the slideshow to observe the where the music ends.

I am editing an idvd slideshjow to have some of the music selections fade out at the end of each vacation segment. Is there a way I can fast-forward through the slideshow so I can see where the music is ending and adjust the time to end properly? (without repeatedly clicking the forward button on the e-remote)

Thanks very much, varjak paw. I checked half a dozen tracks on my iMac from different albums which did not copy over, plus several which did copy over. They all show the same location:
Users/Christina/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Brandenburg Concertos etc. (one example)
What does this mean relative to the music which didn't copy? Is there another step? or somewhere else I should look?
And wow, thanks for the info about not having legal right to keep the tracks from the CDs. I am embarrassed that I didn't know. I gave most of my CDs to my sister. Before I delete all this highly prized music (400-500 tracks) -- if I get the CDs back from her and keep them at my house, can I continue to keep those tracks on my iMac? (Sister does not have iTunes or even know what an mp3 is, so it's not like she has copied or imported the CDs -- I just didn't realize I needed to retain possession.)
Or do I still need to remove all that music from my library?
Thank you again for your help.

Back up just SOME of the music library to an external hard drive

I want to move just some of my music from my iTunes library onto an external hard drive (reason? the music cannot be got again, but right now I am not sure if I need it all or not).
So I want to move, say, 50 albums from the main iTunes libraray to an external drive and then be able to move some or all of them back again at later date.
Do I have to copy the whole library over to the external drive and then delete the albums there that I did not want to copy over? Or is there a better way?
And how will I copy back just some of the back-up albums at a later date - is it the normal "Add folder/file to [main] library command from the File menu?

OK, I don't think I have been making it very clear what I am trying to achieve - let me try putting it differently!!
I have one iTunes folder and, at the moment, that is all backed-up via SyncToy. I only have music in iTunes.
Think of that music as being of 2 types - part A that I want for definite, and all that music is also on my iPod (I have my iPod set to Sync manually with iTunes) - this is probably well over 100 albums; and Part B music, that is on iTunes, not on the Ipod, and that I am not sure yet if I want to have in iTunes and on the iPod or not (this was a load of music copied over from another iPod several months ago) - this might be a further 50 albums.
So - part A, I want to keep and want to be fully backed-up. OK, SyncToy does that currently by backing up 100% of iTunes.
But part B - I want to copy the part B music to a different copy location, and then just keep there the part B stuff which, album by album, I will either delete completely (if I don't want it) OR want to copy back to iTunes. Once this second copy is set up, I would delete from this copy all the Part A stuff, and also delete from iTunes all the part B stuff.
I would then have:
- part A stuff on iTunes, iPod and back-up location 1;
- part B stuff on back-up location 2.
So the main question is - from what level in the iTunes folder do I need to copy over to the part B back-up so as to ensure that, when I subsequently try to copy albums back from the part B back-up to iTunes, I get all the information, artwork etc that already exists for the albums? Do I copy the music file; the media file, or the whole iTunes folder?
This may sound all terribly longwinded but, for various reasons, I am not in a position to be able to decide all at once which of the part B albums I need to keep.
Is that any clearer?
Cheers!

Only some of the music in my library will synch to my ipad

I have ripped a number of CD's to my PC music library, but when I try to synch this music to my Ipad only some of the music appears. Ideas?

First check what format the music was ripped in, I think that the idevices only support AAC, so you may have to right click and convert.
Also check and see of you have sync entire library or sync selected library under the device settings when the iPad is connected to iTunes, and then make sure the right checkboxes are seleceted.
Please ask if you are unsure about what I mean for any of this. Good luck.

I used to live in Spain and bought music through istore, I now live in Ireland and have a new iPhone but the music I bought in Spain is not in my Libruary

I used to live in Spain and bought music in the iTunes Store , I have now moved to Ireland and have a new iPhone but the music I bought in Spain is not listed in my music nor is it in my Library. Can I get hold of this music or do I have to re buy the albums? I have not changed my apple I'd just my place of residence. Help?

This is a bit of a mess, because your billing address has to match the current iTS you are using. You also can't move items from one Apple ID account into another.

HT2688 my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this done?

my daughter wants to move some of her music she bought on itunes for her shuffle to her new ipod touch. how do i get this going?

The music should still be in her iTunes Library - the one she uses to put music on the Shuffle. Simply connect the new iPod to that iTunes library, make the choices she wants for syncing the music to the iPod (which I guess, may now include putting all her music onto the iPod, since it has more storage capacity) and press Sync.
Future Syncs with that Library will cause any changes of the Library to be copied to the iPod. Note that music is (or should be) copied to the iPod, not moved. There are two reasons for having the music in the Library:
makes it easier to put the music onto a newer iPod, such as now;
if or when the iPod needs a Restore, which will delete everything from the iPod, you will need to copy "the Library" back onto the same iPod.
